Gout as a Government Institution.

Some Of the Washington correspon-
dents seek to show that the govt is a
disease indigenous to Washington life.
One of them declares that the National
Capital has an atmosphere which
nurses if it does not indeed produce
govt" The late President Arthur is
cited as one Of the victims of this pecu-
liarity of the atmosphere" although
the explanation is at the same time
made that the multitude of dinner
givers" is to blame as much as climatic
logical causes.
There is considerable nonsense about
this gossip. A man is under no greater
necessity to eat indigestible food and
rich dishes because he is President of
the United States than he would be if
he were merely sheriff of the county.
Thomas Jefferson lived as plainly while
in the White House as he did at Month
cello. Jackson was hearty eater, but
he liked plain food not calculated to
produce Inflammation of the fibrous and
parts of the joints. Fill
more and Buchanan were subject to Oc-
casional equity attacks. Lincoln de-
tested formal and fancy dinners. Grant
liked good but not rich living. Hayes
was parSimonious enough to be willing
to make aleg of mutton last three days,
through the several stages of roast, cold
and hashed, to save expense. Arthur
was naturally a high liver long before
he reached the White House.
Mr.. Cleveland's build doubtless re-
quires care in eating and more exercise
than he is able to take. To attribute
his govt to the atmosphere of the
White House is all nonsense.-N. y.

''Misfortunes never come singly !"
Abilene was again visited by the de-
vouring element, fire, on Friday morn
ing last, at four O'Clock. This time the
large frame building on Broadway, just
above Fourth st. on the east side of the
street, and which was removed there
last year, was destroyed. The building
belonged to j. E. Bonebrake, and was
occupied by D. Mccoy, as carpenter
shop. The loss was total one, it be-
ing impossible to arrest the flames after
they Z had. gotten under Roadway.
Charles Mahan, Charles Prendergrast
and James Bolster, carpenters, lost all
their tools, valued at over $500. 90.
Fronts to the new brick block on Cedar
st., which were stored in the building,
and valued S $4,000, were also con-
sumed. There was no insurance on
either the building or its contents. The
fire was undoubtedly the work of
an incendiary, as no stove was used in
the building

branch of their business keeping the

give them a call. Well guarantee

Many of our society people, young
and old, participated in the good old
time fashion of giving and receiving
New Years calls, and all seemed to
enjoy themselves wonderfully. The
custom is gradually becoming more
general, in this the star west" a fact
which we are glad to observe, for an
exchange of social and intellectual
ideas has the effect of elevating all
who indulge therein, and making them
better able to enjoy and appreciate
living. Life should not be continual
round of pleasure, neither should it be
one long work-day. After the work,
then the play, and proper attention
should be paid to both. The man or
woman who can forget himself or her
self, their business cares and household
worries, in the enjoyment of the hour,
is not to be enyied, but better to be i'm
itated.

Last Christmas night. as Henry
Bensch, who lives in Jefferson township,
was returning home from attending the
Christmas exercises at the Reuben
school house, he was stopped in
the rad about eleven O'Clock, by
two men who demanded him to throw
up his hands; the horses sprang for
ward and the would-be highwaymen
fired two shots at him, one ball of which
passed through his hat. Mr.. B. is sat-
isfied in his own mind who one of the
parties are, and win probably take steps
to bring them to justice.

Last evening about seven o'clock.
Mr.. Augustus Ella, manager of the new
shoe store, where Clark's harness store
used to be, met with a fatal accident.
The accident happened in the following
manner: Mr.. Ella noticed something
was the matter with the gas and in
structed one of the men in the store to
60 down in the basement and see what
was the matter with the gas meter.
The man had gone down some minutes,
when MIR. Ella, thinking that he might
need some help, walked into the back
part of the store, intending to 90 down
into the cellar. He came to trap door
in the floor, and while stepping down.
it being very dark, he missed his foot
ing and fell to the floor of the cellar be-
meath, a distance of about ten feet, He
laid where he fell for as much as ten or
fifteen minutes before anyone had dis
covered what had happened. AS soon
as it was known he was picked I'D and
carried to his boarding place, the Quincy
house, corner of Quincy and Fifth ST..
where medical assistance was summon
ed. DIR. VIM. II. RICHTER was the first
physician summoned, and after making
careful examination declared that the
mans neck was broken, and that he
was suffering from severe internal in
juries. He was quite badly cut and
bruised about the face, and vomited
blood.
Dr.. Roby was afterward called in and
rendered medical assistance. 1t was
thought for some time that there was
considerable chance to save Mr.. Elias
life, the physicians not being agreed
that his neck was broken.
About IL O'Clock his breathing be-
came very difficult, undoubtedly caused
by the air passages being clogged up by
hemorrhage, and in a few minutes he
died.

The REFLECTOR would call attention
to the fact that Abilene would be good
place for pork packing establishment.
There should at least be sufficient meat
cured here by some one to supply the
home demand. The idea of shipping
fat hogs to the east, receiving therefor
from to cents pound and then ship
ping bacon, lard, hams and shoulders,
back here at from ten to twenty cents
per pound, is simply ridiculous. The
railroads thus collect freight on the
meat we eat both ways, the shipper both
ways takes his profit, the wholesale
dealer his, and all for what ? Simply
for the want of little enterprise on
the part of men who have the money
and could just as well as not do all this
business at home, make a handsome
profit on their investment and save to
the customer thousands of dollars every
year. Let some Of our business men
take this matter in hand and secure for
Abilene pork packing establishment.
1t certainly would be a good paying in
veStment.
